Yes, i had same experience about my references for the domicilliary account too but i called GTconnect and did all i should to get it sorted.......and sure you cannot send more than €6000 from GTBank per transaction but can be completed next day.......na so life be oo......some of us went through this........so future applicants should take note.

I sent 8100€ and it was done the same day I was charged something around 120 € on on gtbank

Justcul:

Thank u ma sistr.. I hope dis toefl waiver tin is true cuz i'll need to spend about 50k to get it done.. D state i reside, not a single toefl center.. So, i'll need to travel

emeka55: Advice for anyone willing or planning to study in Germany. U better hurry and take the chance now with the tuition free education. The German election is tomorrow and no one knows what the outcome would be and what the change of power could lead to. The new head of parliament may decide to change the decision of offering free tuition to international students. God will continue to help us but we also need to help ourselves. If u are still confused on how to apply, pls ask ur questions now and make haste while Oluwa is involved!

You are smart

That possibility crossed my mind but we have hope cos each bundestag make the rules for it's own education

nkenyy:
Am going to frankfurt because that's where I would stay before my school resumes. I have friends there. Please explain the security issue.

What I mean by security is if you have an emergency or something comes up... Personally I took 650€ an I spent about 36€ for train and taxi....

nkenyy: Good morning house, please do I need Basic Travelling allowance (BTA) to travel with. Please I need your opinion on this because I would be travelling next week. Thanks.

IMO you don't cos when i was about to leave one immigration woman who knew my dad mentioned it but at the end of d day i wasn't even asked...... but i had accommodation already and the only thing i needed money for was feeding and train ticket.....


where are you travelling to and have you gotten accommodation? this can determine how much you have to take with you for security

Angel Diamond:

pls what will happen if you do not have your card with u?

you have to prove it is your credit card. ....

Angel Diamond:

topeajis:

Godson201333:

Oya i am happy for you...Please make sure you get the visa today,I am sure you cant wait...Just let your insurance date be the exact date that you want to travel.Flights are a lil bit expensive now so you can also check your calendar for september

Thanks a lot Godson... I want to book a flight with Emirates for 5th September $675.... I would have the insurance done on Monday and travel to Lagos thereafter. . . Godson201333 you guys helped a lot. I appreciate

kelly4top:

Thanks Tope. I have collected the VISA today. I did the insurance same day they contacted me so I came to Lagos yesterday and went to the Embassy today at 8am to submit my Travel-health insurance and passport so I was given a slip to come back by 12pm for collection. So I came by 12pm and behold it was my VISA. They also returned all my original documents. I will be flying Lufthansa airline on Saturday 2nd/3/13.

N.B. They accept Travel-health insurance from I.G.I which is cheaper at 15k. AIICO is 23k.

Hi I want to ask about the foreigner office... the information sheet that the school gave me specified an electronic visa if €120... Please was that what you did? Or does it not apply to Nigerians

topeajis:


Typed MA

Hello

Please how do I go about ensuring that the dates on my insurance flight and other things correspond

steelie: congrats. When did you give interview?

Thanks bro.

6th August. .

Godson201333:


Short term visa......

I was told to come to the embassy in Lagos with a three month travel insurance. I am grateful to God and also to all of you on the thread who shared your experience with me and in turn bolstered my confidence

Please is it possible for me to pay for a flight and later reschedule the date?

steelie: okay man..which site did u get the accomodation let me give it a try?

my school gave me a contact to a couple of landlords

steelie: This question about accomodation sef...Hmmm..are we expected to get accomodation online??..Hw person go pay for room wey e neva see?..Nawa oo..make person no go bless someone hustle..Please oo..guys that ve given interview,wat were your responses to the question?

just tell them the truth... I actually already paid for accommodation before my interview so I told the VO about it in a conversational manner.... she was friendly (it was not that elderly woman)


I paid the fee and did biometrics at the woman's place though. She was too blunt

Justcul:

Yeap, it qualifies me.. But i av been thinking abt environment and resource managent..

Okay... you should also think about where you will settle down. If it's abroad Bio Engineering but if you don't want to stay abroad do your masters in one of the environmental related course (bio degradation and the likes) an oil company in Nigeria would be more than happy to employ

topeajis:

Nop it won't u will state why u want to change in ur motivation letter...

Does your bachelor degree qualify you for a masters degree in Bio Engineering?

the truth is that if you can switch to an environment related course you can easily find employment opportunities

Justcul:

Thanks Bro 4 taking out time to address all our concerns.. I appreciate it. Am planning on applying 4 next summer, i have a 3.68/5 GPA in biological sciences but i want to switch to a different field (B.sc) cos of job prospects and other possibilitis.. And i'll be using my B.sc as an admission requirement to gain admission Hope it wont be a problem?

what course do you want to switch to??

topeajis: Worried much about ma issue. My appication @ the embassy is now 4weeks my school is tellin me to resume before april 30th. I told embassy they said my file they the foreigner office in berlin and I. Mailed the foreigner office those one say student visa takes 4-6 weeks. And my school doesn't help with visa stuff. Am scared now.

Please how did you contact the embassy?
